Read this like it's yours. It's free, like the first answer you get from me.
Hey. It's me.
You went quiet. I'm not writing to find out why. I'm writing because I kept the sentence in my pocket so long it wore a hole, and I'd rather spend it than carry it.
People don't go quiet because they stopped caring. They go quiet because something got heavy. Or because it got easy to. Or because nobody said the thing that would've kept the door propped open. I've been the quiet one too, so I know how it looks from your side: like it ran out.
It didn't run out. It's still here. That's the inconvenient part.
I don't need a reply. I needed to put it down somewhere other than my own head. If you ever feel like knocking, the door isn't locked. And if you don't: thanks for the part where it was good. There was a lot of good.
